So I haven't posted in a long time.. I'm now in London having a go at living in this place!!
Anny has come along with me which is good to have some company.. have checked out Budapest which was beautiful and then last minute booked in a Top Deck tour which gave us a whirlwind tour of Europe in Winter (Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, Lauterbrunnan (Switzerland), Salzburg, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam). Had a blast and met some really good people. Definitely want to go back to Paris, Berlin and Rome..everywhere really! This weekend I'm heading to Amsterdam (again!) for Anny's birthday.. it's a great place so looking forward to it then it's on to finding ways to make money. Lucky the weed is cheap! ;)
Trying to find a job now. I don't want a career, I just want some money. I had an interview for a reception role and apparently they really liked me however thought I was too qualified for the role and thought I'd want something more challenging. Helllloo, I'm applying for reception roles for a reason! I then had an interview tonight at a pretty sweet bar so have a trial there on Tuesday night. It's only weekend shifts though which would work out well though if I have a Monday - Friday job too. I then had a recruitment agency call me for media roles which I don't really mind but I wanted to steer clear of them. If I get a job out of it though I'll take it.. I have an interview with him on Tuesday as well. So from all my applications I am getting some feedback which is good... just hope I get an actual job out of it soon!!
Jules is being the awesome, lovely lady that she is and putting Anny and I up until we find a job. Lucky her couch is so comfy :) I just don't want to stay here too long and out-welcome our stay so am trying to get a job as soon as possible.
So horrible about Brisbane... the photos, footage and what I've heard from people about it all is just terrible. I'm so thankful that my family and friends are all ok but I do wish I was there so I could lend a helping hand. At the same time though, I think I'd just feel so overwhelmed with it all that I'm kind of glad I'm here... Brisbane definitely won't be the same when I return. My thoughts are with everyone who has been affected. I know what it's like to lose everything you own..
That's what has been happening lately with me in a nutshell. My last triathlon was Noosa and I do miss the training!! Weird. I have started doing my own little circuits here and I am so sore. Such a weakling right now..almost two months without training and this is what happens. Hopefully my fitness and strength will come back quickly!!
I do miss home sometimes.. I think because I have a lot of time to think about it so once I get a job I should be ok. I miss Jake lots.. I didn't think I would miss him as much as I do but I do. Hopefully he can come over in September. I miss the Michelle crew - hanging out and someone who can take my randomness (although Anny is pretty much on par!). I have no money to go out so can't hang out with my new friends here - wish I had a place of my own for them to come around and we can do nothing/cheap shit together. At least I'm giving my liver a rest...! Wow, I'm whinging so much! I'm in an awesome city and I'm alive so I should just be thankful for this change. It's nice to have a break.
Hope everyone is well.. Hope those of you who live is Brisbane are safe and dry.
